For those who've had difficulties getting TRU gift card price matches @ BB I was able to get BB to PM the $40 gift card offer last week very easy. They charged me $40 each for bulletstorm/killzone 3 & gave me a $40 BB gift card. I also got dead space 2 for $30 and COD BO for $40 and another $40 gift card. The key was showing them a response from BB Corp concerning price matching TRU gift card specifically. I've provide the link below highlight the paragraph response from Allan. The manager didn't want to loose a sale close to $250.

Hang on , did you mean you paid $120+tax total for bullestorm and killzone 3 then they gave you a $40 bb gift card on top which comes out to about $40+tax per game. Your post says that you paid $80+tax total for BS&KZ3 and then got a $40 gift card on top, making each game come out to $20+tax!

If you actually paid $150+tax for BS,KZ3,DS2 and COD:BO and got 2 $40 gift cards on top, you sir are a freaking magician and I am in complete awe of your CAG skills...

What do you mean have a pic of the taped ad?Like take a pic of the shelf price?

since it's not in their ad or on the website you need a picture of the offer I detail. Taped on the glass in front of the items that correspond with the specific deal TRU has these offers use your phone to get a pic & if need be make sure they have the items in stock b/c some BB's will refuse for deal if TRU is sold out.

No, they chared him $40 each for BS and KZ3 and he "purchased" a $40 gift card for $40.

1st remember DS2 was on sale for $50 @ BB & they didn't bump the price back up to $60. Damn don't know how to post pics but I'll simplify as best I can. This was done on two receipts @ the same BB the manager didn't want to discount such large amounts on 1 receipt for fear that I'd return the games and keep the gift cards.

Receipt 1: COD BO $40, DS2 $30 & a $40 gift card $114.18(tax included)Receipt 2: bulletstorm $40, KZ3 $40 & a $40 gift card $124.78(tax included)So COD BO, DS2, KZ3, Bulletstorm & $80 in gift cards for $238.96. All the games for $158.96. I already have DS2 and COD BO so these are just trade in fodder and if there's a sale on any of the games between now & 4/12 I can still price match them down even further...plus I'll get close to another $15 in reward zone certs in 35 days.

All these points will post just in time for the Socom 4 PS Move/sharpshooter bundle and considering that BB is offer a $10 pre-order bonus if I paid the full $150 for it that would equal another $10 in reward cert for spending $150 on games. Gotta love BB

I try to pass on the best possible deal and BB right now is it at least for B&M kmart is a close second and then amazon/newegg for online. I wish there were more stores but with no circuit city it's kind of blah but if you know a better deal put me on to it?

I'm sorry but buying 2 games and a $40 gift card for $120 is not a deal. Whats the point of buying a gift card instead of just buying the games at full price? It costs the same in the end.

What? If he's buying the games for $40 each and then the gift card for $40, then he has a $40 credit to use on future purchases. It would be the same as Amazon offering the two games for full price ($60 each) with a $20 preorder credit for each one ($40 in preorder credits). Why isn't that a deal, especially if you shop at BB often or buy other sale items there?

I see the point now. I was seeing it from a different view because at BB you are buying a gift card but at Amazon its a bonus. Its the same in end but seems different to me.

I have had the worst lucking PM gift card deals at BB so I wouldn't want to deal with the hassle. But thats just me

Who else had KZ3 and Bulletstorm for $40 on release? I guess it also comes down to would you rather have $80 in TRU gift cards or BB? I personally get more outta BB plus I'm trying to retain my silver status @ BB. But hey if it's not a deal to you sorry I'm just tryin to help any other CAG. If you look at the thread for last weeks TRU's there were a ton on ppl asking if anybody had success price matching the gift card offer @ BB.

Try using the printout from the link, several CAG's PM'd after using this strategy & were able to get the deal they wanted. All those gift card deals on PS3/X360 seemed to generate alot of ?'s I mean I'd rather have the upfront savings on a system instead of the gift card same with the games TRU is notorious with the $10-$40 gift card offers on games.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I didn't consider the rewardzone points either but that's a nice bonus for sure. This is not a bad deal at all and can be an even better deal if you can convert the GC to cash somehow since you saved a little bit on paying tax as well because the tax is applied to $40 vs $60. It's not much but hey every little bit helps especially for us CAGs.

A little off topic but slightly related but does anybody have a fairly safe way to convert GCs into cash other than selling them to your friends who are about to buy stuff at BB anyway?

B1G1 50% off is at best 25% off of each for the same priced game.Best Buy is B2G1 free on $10 games, which at best is 33% off of each game.

Selection aside, if you were to purchase two $10 PSP games at TRU, they'd be $7.50 each. If you were to purchase three $10 PSP games at BB, they'd be ~$6.67 each.

Not sure if you meant "better" as in more options or "better" as in saving more, though.

Thanks for posting the TRU deals!

Depending on what your TRU has on clearance I saw alot of the $10 games @ BB for $5-7, it depends on how many the store has left. The yellow stickers my local TRU uses has handwritten clearance prices along with standard clearance stickers.
